HP Data Centre Swindon

The Project:

Consisting of a site wide campus with 3 independent data centres and support buildings containing run and standby plant and backup systems.

The Challenge:

Provide a solution to the site wide proprietary unreliable closed communications network. (The current protocols prevent use of and incorporation of alternative manufacturers’ equipment on the BMS network.)

Maintain complete uninterrupted system operation and visibility for the client throughout the entire upgrade phase.

Very limited management information and data analysis functionality available from the current system which does not meet client user needs or requirements.

The existing BMS system is not based on swap in swap out, plug and play components.

Spares & equipment replacements are only available through restricted supply channels.

The Solution:

A future proof Building Management System solution.

A system based on Open Standard Systems Protocols.

Use of a reputable worldwide product supplier.

Implementation of TCP/IP Ethernet network throughout all of the BMS network.
